How Long Does It Last?
For best results, I would suggest enjoying any leftovers within 3-4 days of preparing them. Such a delightful recipe deserves to be eaten while it is fragrant and full of flavor. If you have fresh pork or pork that has a longer “use by” date than that, you can extend its life of it by another day or two.
